Gan Ning's ability, others don't know, but Gongsun Bai understands it very well in his heart, this general with bells and whistles, full of black words and even foul language, ranks among the top three in Eastern Wu in terms of force, and later is the first brave general in Eastern Wu, and the ability of water warfare is also among the top three in Eastern Wu.
When Gan Ning was a teenager, he could be described as a rebellious teenager at that time, "little strength, good ranger", not doing his job, gathering a group of teenagers who were no different from hooligans at that time, in groups, carrying bows and arrows, with bird feathers on his head, wearing bells, wandering around, and crisscrossing the rivers and lakes.
Gan Ning is chivalrous, light on life and death, and short-tempered, pulling out a knife to kill people if he disagrees, and has a great reputation in the county.
As soon as he goes in and out, he is majestic and dazzling, and he rides on foot by train, and connects with light boats on water.
The attendants, dressed in splendor, where they go, where they are brilliant, when they stay, they often use splendid scenery to maintain the boat, and when they leave, they have to cut off and abandon them, so as to show that they are rich and luxurious, and everyone is called "brocade thief" at the time.
If the magistrates of the cities where he lived, or those who had associated with him, had been received with great pomp, Gan Ning would have fellowship with all his heart, and could go to the soup for him; If the etiquette is not good, Gan Ning indulges his subordinates to loot the other party's assets, and even thieves and officials.
This uninhibited and arbitrary situation lasted until he was in his twenties.
Later, Gan Ning no longer attacked others.
He read some books, delved into the theory of the hundred schools of thought, and wanted to make a difference, so he led more than 800 people to attach himself to Liu Biao, but he was not reused, and Liu Bei didn't seem to be interested in him.
After all, a general like him who was born as a thief has a bad reputation, whether it is Liu Biao or Liu Bei, the dignified Han clan relatives, they are still a little disdainful of him.
After Pang Tong accompanied Xu Huang into Wancheng, he repaired three letters in succession, Gan Ning deeply felt Pang Tong's sincerity, and heard the name of Gongsun Bai, and immediately led eight hundred to follow his own many years of trilogy, and came happily.
After all, a hero like Gan Ning has admired heroes like Huo Qubing the most since he was a child, and Emperor Yan, who unified the north, far surpassed Huo Hussar's exploits before becoming emperor, how could he not be fascinated It's just that he never imagined that the famous Emperor Dayan, who swept across the north, was actually such a handsome young man, especially Gongsun Bai with red lips and white teeth, plump like jade, and looked like he was in his early twenties, so he really couldn't associate it with that thunderous name, plus Gongsun Bai rode lightly, without a car and a guard of honor, so he didn't care at first.
If Gan Ning only respected Gongsun Bai's prestige and merits at first, when Gongsun Bai sacrificed the car and ship and the Flying Tiger warship, Gan Ning was completely shocked.
On the one hand, he was shocked by Gongsun Bai's immortal arts, and on the other hand, he was shocked by those new warships.
For a naval general like him, seeing those battleships with foot pedals as the power and exquisite design is as shocking and exciting as Zhao Yun and others seeing sweaty horses and divine arm crossbows.
The vehicle ship is a high-speed ship that replaces the paddle wheel as a propulsion tool, continuously rotates the paddle wheel, and allows the paddle blades to continue to row and do continuous work.
On the same rotating shaft, many treadboards can be installed according to the width of the ship, and many people can step on them at the same time to improve the propulsion efficiency and speed of the vehicle.
The vehicles and ships are fast and are designed to surprise enemy ships.
The back is covered with raw cowhide, which has good defensive properties.
Open the crossbow window to attack the enemy, and the soldiers on the lower deck are mainly responsible for sailing, and the upper deck is mainly responsible for shooting.
In this way, coupled with the Yan Army's unparalleled crossbow, it has a great advantage in water warfare.
In addition to the car and boat, Gongsun Bai placed a building boat in the wider part of the water surface in the direction of the water downstream, which is convenient for the practice of the navy, after all, the width of the river surface on the water is limited, and it is not suitable for this kind of giant warship to sail freely, but the super giant ship of the building ship is the giant of the water war, although it is inconvenient to run in the water war, but once it is hit by it, it is the effect of people turning over on their backs.
Although the car ship and the building boat are novel, Gan Ning and his 800 personal soldiers are all from the water cougar who crisscross the Yangtze River, and they have figured out their operation skills in less than half a month.
Gongsun Bai ordered Xu Huang to transfer 30,000 soldiers of the Xinghan Army who had a foundation in water warfare, and ordered Gao Shun, who was training in Huaishui, to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 50,000 soldiers with a certain foundation in water warfare, to form the Tengjiao Army, which was under the command of Gan Ning, and at the same time worshiped him as the general of Hengjiang Zhonglang.
According to Gongsun Bai's idea, this Tengjiao army will be used as an elite division in the water war, charging forward, just like the white horse in the land war, and the army behind him will take the opportunity to cover up.
Gan Ning, who had just joined the Yan Army for just over a year, had been worshiped as a Zhonglang general, which was already extremely unusual, and Gan Ning, who had been reused by Gongsun Bai, was naturally grateful, completely let go of all arrogance and uninhibitedness, and was willing to smear the liver and brain of Emperor Yan.
Gongsun Bai, who was determined in his heart, finally drove back to Beijing after several months in Wancheng.
At this time, the first batch of potatoes in the north had also been harvested, and there was a new breakthrough in the promotion of systematic steel filling and smelting.
An important part of steel filling is the smelting of coke, otherwise the kind of coke that is not as hot as the effect of charcoal, although the system provides a large number of words on how to refine and talk from coking coal, but the transformation of book knowledge into actual industrial technology is a difficult process, but finally two people have solved this problem.
These two people are Pu Yuan and Ma Jun.
Ma Jun was a well-known craftsman at that time, who transformed the silk weaving machine, improved the work efficiency by four or five times, and also improved the keel waterwheel overturned the tool for agricultural irrigation, and was one of the most prestigious mechanical inventors in the history of ancient Chinese science and technology.
Pu Yuan can be described as an iron-smelting master of this era.
The first quenching technology makes the steel knife strong and elastic.
In history, it has selected stainless steel and cold iron to cast 3,000 knives for Zhuge Liang, and in order to be sharp, he ordered people to travel thousands of miles to the Shujiang River to take water and quench the knife.
The water taker accidentally overturned the water a little, and had no choice but to replenish the water on the way, and Pu Yuan saw through it at a glance, and ordered someone to take the Shujiang River water quenching knife again.
The knife is made, and the iron is sharpened like clay, and it is known as the "magic knife".
Ma Jun originally worked for Cao Cao, and after Cao Cao's defeat, he was appointed by Gongsun Bai as an examination order, specializing in various craft improvements.
However, Pu Yuan was sent by Gongsun Baiguang to search the world, and it took nearly half a year to find it.
As soon as the two joined forces, they solved the problem of coking coal.
To this end, Gongsun Bai led the crowd to the scene to witness the success of Puyuan.
The place where the blast furnace is set up is not far from the upper reaches of a river outside the city of Xudu, the blast furnace is full of three zhang, it is piled up according to the requirements of Pu Yuan, in order to prevent heat dissipation, Pu Yuan ordered people to build a layer of refractory bricks half a meter thick inside, so this furnace is very large, and when it is halfway through, it is necessary to pile up a stone house along the furnace wall, and a lot of coking coal has been piled up in the house.
This kind of blast furnace is different from the blast furnace of the ordinary bureau, on the one hand, the length is increased, on the other hand, the furnace wall is also widened a lot, this kind of blast furnace has been quite a bit of the prototype of the modern blast furnace, the bottom and the upper part of the furnace are carbon bricks, and the lower part is clay bricks; The whole stove was four people high, half a room in size, and there was an air inlet below, and it is worth mentioning the blowers made by the carpenters.
The blower is something that has long appeared in this era, but they use the hydrodynamic exhaust blower invented by Ma Jun, and choose the turbulent river as the power on the spot, when the water hits the horizontal wheel of the hydraulic power blower, it will drive the upper horizontal wheel to rotate.
The connecting rod connected to it moves, and the connecting rod reciprocates, so that the row fan opens and closes, and blows air.
Moreover, Ma Jun adopts a two-way blast, and the piston inside is also trying to be enriched, and the wind is stronger.

This not only solves the problem of manpower shortage, but also greatly improves efficiency.
The draining wind wheel and the blower box have been connected, and the coking coal in the blast furnace has been ignited.
Driven by the flow of water, the blower began to click and move with the crank, and the air immediately blew out of the box.
The water flow is turbulent, and the air outlet of the blower is also continuous, and the wind is extremely strong, and the air outlet is facing the air outlet of the blast furnace.
Suddenly, the coking coal, which was originally only emitting black smoke and not completely burning, quickly began to crackle, and the coking coal in the furnace immediately burned.
Smoke began to rise from the roof of the stove, and the whole stove was red.
Just when the craftsmen were about to go to the coke, they were stopped by Pu Yuan, and after waiting for half an hour, the temperature in the furnace continued to rise, and Pu Yuan saw that the opportunity was almost over, and said, "You can take charcoal." ” Under an order, a few blacksmiths took out special tools to take out the hot coke, and the next thing was not small, but also needed to be bonded, solidified, and contracted, but these, the blacksmiths were in the line, and they were busy for more than an hour, and the samples of coke were sent to Pu Yuan's hands, Pu Yuan looked left and right, and saw that the charcoal body was black, without a trace of impurities, so he respectfully presented it to Gongsun Bai and said: "Your Majesty, please test the charcoal" Although Gongsun Bai didn't understand this thing, he could see that the color of the coke in his hand was jet black and shiny, and there was no variegated color on his whole body, just like black jade, so he naturally knew that this was the top grade in coke, and he couldn't help but applaud continuously.
With good charcoal, those craftsmen jumped up for joy, some went to carry iron ore, some prepared coke, some went to clean the furnace, and then everyone began to build the furnace skillfully, put in the iron stone, and ignited the coke.
A few hours later, molten iron flowed out of a notch.
Someone couldn't help but exclaim: "It's molten iron, molten iron, iron turned into water." ” If you talk about molten iron, everyone has seen it, but all of it melts into molten iron, but not many people have seen it, once it melts into molten iron, it means that a large number of impurities are separated from the iron.
The technique of filling steel was finally completed, and Gongsun Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A day later, a steel knife was sent to Gongsun Bai, who compared the steel knives made by the system, and slashed each other, there was basically no difference, and his heart finally settled down completely.
The technique of filling steel has finally been thoroughly developed, and China's iron-smelting technology will be ahead of the world for thousands of years.
Autumn to spring, the art of steel filling can spread to the entire north, and in the past year, the grain in the north has also been harvested, Ganning's navy has also been trained to a certain extent, Tengjiaojun can skillfully control the vehicles and ships across the rivers and lakes, horses on the south of the Yangtze River, just waiting for an opportunity.
At this moment, a secret report was transmitted into the palace by the Black Panther Guard.
Liu Biao is critically ill Gongsun Bai, who received the secret report, jumped up from the dragon bed, and immediately ordered Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and other confidants to go to the Deyang Palace to discuss the attack on Jingzhou.
I wish you all a happy new year and a healthy family to be continued
